    Fluorescent tube - is tube faulty or is it the starter?

    Yeah...I call them chokes...ahem... My first experience with fluorescent fittings was in a Victorian mill where there were 1940s fittings with old bakelite BC lamp holders and tubes with BC endcaps. The wiring used to be DC and was wired in conduit with porcelain roses and the colours (not sure...

    Private Number Plates

    Tried to figure this one out. Knowing that people interchange letters for numbers, I figured it could be W38 BLE: vehicle could not be found. Wondering if the I character was added in, I tried W3 BBE: comes back as a black Merc. You'd have to really bugger about with the characters, but I...

    A good UK SIM Card for a 4G Phone

    IDK why, but I often get scam calls on my second SIM from companies insisting it is an O2 number and they want to put me on an iffy contract. Don't get any of those on my main number and the joke is the second number has never been given out to anyone, whereas literally thousands of people have...

    Andy’s wife is starting on a low for me.

    True, but given a) the price and b) the designer of the garment and c) the fact that the dress would be getting a very public outing, I'd like to think that b) would have made sure the damn thing fitted, something that us mere mortals are left to judge ourselves, and sometimes get wrong.

    If my other half was famous, I'd keep out of the public gaze. But if you put yourself in it, people will comment. People talk about what they see on the TV.

    Andy’s wife is starting on a low for me.

    So you have never seen someone wearing something on TV and commented on it? TBH, it seems you're calling me and Mottie out as misogynists. But I'm not sure why. However, whatever I say, you're not going to change your mind, so I'm not going to bother trying to argue with you.
